Explanations

This textbook introduces the theory and applications of nonlinear dynamical systems, balancing discrete‑time and continuous models. It begins with fundamental modeling principles and gradually develops mathematical tools for analyzing qualitative behavior such as:
Fixed points
Stability
Oscillations
Long‑term dynamics
The book explores one‑dimensional systems before expanding to multivariable models, where more complex behaviors appear. It places special emphasis on:
Bifurcations
Transitions between dynamical regimes
Parameter‑dependent behaviors
Later chapters introduce geometric structures behind chaotic dynamics, including:
Fractals
Strange attractors
The writing focuses on clear exposition, intuitive reasoning, and real‑world applications in physical, biological, and social systems.

Table of Contents

The exact chapter list is not publicly available in the search results. However, based on the detailed descriptions from De Gruyter and Browns Books, the book likely includes chapters covering:
Core principles of dynamical systems modeling
Discrete‑time systems
Continuous‑time systems
Fixed points and stability analysis
Oscillatory behavior
Multi‑variable dynamical systems
Bifurcation theory
Parameter‑dependent transitions
Chaotic dynamics
Fractals and strange attractors

Tomography of Measures on Convex Bodies

Details
Explanations

This book presents results at the intersection of two major areas of convex geometry:

The authors refer to the synthesis of these perspectives as “tomography of measures.” Key problems discussed include:

These topics are central to asymptotic geometric analysis, especially in understanding dimension‑dependent phenomena in high‑dimensional spaces. The book is intended for researchers in geometry, harmonic analysis, functional analysis, and probability theory.
